Man is not at peace with his fellow man because he is not at peace with himself. And he is not at peace with himself because he is not at peace with God.

The flowers today are given by the Noyack Trust as a provision of the will of Mildred Noyack in fond remembrance of her marriage to Edward Noyack. The church voted to place these monies from her trust in a separate fund named the Noyack Trust, to be used for renovations and some scholarship and charitable donations. We are thankful for her generosity which has allowed us to maintain and renovate our beautiful church building.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Calling All Confirmands!

Pastor Allyson will be holding a confirmation class for all interested students in grades 9 and up beginning after the first of the year. The confirmation journey is a

time of intentional preparation in which to explore their faith, learn about their church and their denomination and come to more fully understand what it means to be a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. Our time together will include opportunities for fellowship, participation in worship, community/church service, and a chance to attend a confirmation retreat at Silver Lake where our group will meet with confirmands from other CT churches. The class will culminate with a Service of Confirmation in May.

Please contact Pastor Allyson at pastorallyson.scc@gmail.com or through the

church office to express interest in the program. Our meeting times will be

determined by the group to accommodate everyone’s schedule.
